Continuing our very fun and successful series of Magic events, Gamescape is pleased to be hosting a double-dip of Magic: The Gathering Pre-Release spectaculars! MTG Battle For Zendikar releases on Friday, October 2nd. Our Pre-Releases will take place one week before then on Saturday and Sunday, September 26th and 27th at 12:00 noon. These will be Sealed Deck Tournaments.

If you’re interested in attending the pre-release tournament, we ask that you please sign-up ahead of time, as we have limited space for the event. You can do this in a number of ways: either by calling the store, sending an e-mail, or by dropping into the store in-person. There are 66 spaces available, so be sure to reserve yours soon! We ask also that you please arrive to the tournament at least one hour early in order to pay your entry fee of $30.00. Each player will receive a MTG Battle For Zendikar Pre-Release Pack.

This Sealed Tournament will consist of one flight of entrants with the goal of the event to be completed by 6pm. For a great introduction to playing in this tournament, check out WotC’s MTG Pre-Release Primer. Prizes will be given in the form of MTG Battle For Zendikar booster packs, promo cards, and some other nifty prize support that we have in the store. We regret that we will not be admitting players after 12:00pm SHARP. Please arrive as early as you can to ensure that we get playing as soon as possible.

If you’re not able to make the Pre-Release, we’ll be holding the Release Tournament on the Friday that MTG Battle For Zendikar releases for sale. If you’re interested in attending, please arrive before 6:00pm to sign in and hold your spot in the event. We always recommend signing up ahead of time, just in case things fill up quickly. This Sealed Tournament will consist of four rounds of Swiss pairing using six MTG Battle For Zendikar Booster Packs with the goal of the tournament to be finished by 10:30pm.
